About — Júlia Lopes

Brazilian, from Recife, and a product designer for 4 years.

I started in 2022 designing interfaces for a microlearning platform, worked on client projects in consulting, and today I'm a product designer at CESAR for the financial sector. I take care of the process end to end: from user research to the Figma prototype and handoff.

My favorite part of the job is talking to the people who will use what I design.

I like hearing how they do things today, where they get stuck and what they work around without even noticing. That's usually where I find the most important problems — the ones that seem small or invisible but wear down people's routines. I use AI to move faster in research, prototyping and validation, but listening is still at the heart of the process.

I live in Recife with my cats, and they show up in almost every online meeting. Photography is my way of looking at the city slowly, I love music, and visiting coffee shops is my favorite weekend plan.
